Dermalogica Age Smart

The new Dermalogica Age Smart products take on a whole new “anti-aging” role or philosophy. The launch of Age Smart launched the idea of treating aging at the source by addressing biochemical reactions that trigger the common signs of aging.

Dermalogica Renewal Lip Complex smoothes and softens the lips with the use of hyaluronic acid and vitamin E for a younger appearance.

Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 30 is a new medium-weight moisturizer for aging or mature skin. The SPF 30 is ideal for day use to provide sun protection to the skin and to fight premature aging.

As we age our cell turnover rate increases, which causes the appearance of aging and makes the skin appear dull. Dermalogica Skin Resurfacing Cleanser helps to remove those dead cells on the skin which increases your cell turnover rate and gives a healthy glow to the skin.

Last, but not least, Dermalogica launched their Antioxidant HydraMist for mature and prematurely aging skin. Antioxidants and vitamin C and E fight against free radicals to stop aging in its tracks.

The Perfect Cleanser

Cleansing is arguably the most important step in your daily skin care regimen. A good cleanser not only removes the daily grime from your skin, it provides the perfect basis for further treatment steps. If you're still cleaning your face with a bar of soap, it's time to update. Here's a few suggestions.

Amino Genesis Really, Really Clean Cleanser features a blend of 17 amino acids to hydrate, nourish and defend your skin in one refreshing step. This moisturizing cleanser helps to rebuild collagen and elastin for a more youthful appearance.

Formulated with aloe and algae, Astara Botanical Cleansing Gele is a gel-based cleanser designed for all skin types. Its natural softening properties helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and also makes it excellent for shaving.

For oily and acne-prone skin, try Avene Diacneal Gel Cleanser. This fragrance-free cleanser uses lactic acid, an AHA derived from milk, to gently remove pore-clogging debris and bacteria without exacerbating flare-ups.

For those with sensitive skin, try Bioelements Sensitive Skin Cleanser or Caudalie Gentle Cleanser. Each is formulated with natural ingredients that nourish the skin, and don't have any alcohol content, which can dry and irritate the skin.

A Younger You

There are certain top-selling products in the skin care industry that do wonders to the skin, providing you with better, more radiant looking skin.

Consider treating the skin not only from the outside, but from the inside as well. Imedeen Prime Renewal is flying off the shelves these days due to the amazing visual results. This supplement helps to rebuild mature or post-menopausal skin.

We’ve all heard the hype about vitamin C; well it's true, vitamin C can truly transform the skin. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic combines not only vitamin C but other antioxidants like vitamin E and ferulic acid to rejuvenate the skin and give you a more healthy appearance.

SkinMedica TNS Recovery Complex contains proteins and amino acids and has been said to be the “next best thing to surgery.” This product address issues like fine lines, wrinkles and crows feet.

Number one on your regimen list should be sun protection! Sun protection is the most important and vital step to preventing premature aging. La Roche-Posay Anthelios SX fights both UVA and UVB damage.

Don’t forget your targeted treatment products like Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm for the eye and lip areas. Vitamins A, C and E reduce wrinkles not only in the eye area but around the lips as well.

Vitamin C – How much is too much?

Vitamin C, as we know, is an excellent antioxidant and a must have in our skin care routine. But many wonder, is too much, well, too much?

The benefits of vitamin C are many. Vitamin C simulates the production of collagen and elastin – components of the skin that break down as we age. Vitamin C helps to fight off reactive oxygen species, also known as free radicals. Vitamin C helps to increase photo-protection, address fine lines and wrinkles and brings clarity to the skin.

Numerous studies have been done on vitamin C and it is in many cosmeceuticals worldwide, but many of the current studies show that the skin utilizes and benefits the most from vitamin C concentrations between 15-20%. Consider products like SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic or Cellex-C High Potency Serum.

The eye area also benefits from vitamin C; however, because the eye area is also more delicate than the rest of the skin, less vitamin C should be used in this area. Experts recommend we use between 7-10% around the eye area to eliminate the possibility of irritation.

Skin that is acclimated to vitamin C can use higher concentrations of this active, these recommendations are simply best for those that are initially using vitamin C or have sensitive skin.

Winter Lip Protection

Fall and winter seasons can bring on harsh weather for the skin, particularly for the lips, as they are commonly neglected. Caring for the lips is essential, especially if you want them to stay full and beautiful.

Exfoliating the lips is best to do 1-2 times weekly; I suggest gentle products like Pevonia Youthful Lip Retinol Serum or Yonka Alpha Contour.

In addition to regular exfoliation, hydrating the lips will keep them from becoming chapped and dry during the cold weather. Peptide Lip Therapy from PCA Skin provides anti-aging benefits as well as protection against free radical damage. La Roche-Posay Ceralip Lip Repair Cream enriches the lips with lipids. this product works especially well for sensitive skin and Accutane users.
